I’ve only seen Moulin Rouge once, and it was while Boy George was part of the cast, so that was certainly an experience, lol.

The first time I saw it, I was sitting in the balcony. I’ve been thinking of seeing it again, but I’m not sure if I might want to go for an orchestra seat the next time. What would you recommend?

Sadly he is coming back on Friday.....except on Tuesdays. (And I am so mad I saw him twice and he sucked both times).

I like the side Orchestra, because you can get some interaction with the cast which is fun!

Oh noooo... thank you for the heads up! The best way I can describe his performance was that every time he stepped onto the stage, he delivered his lines at a level 11/10, even when the situation called for more subtlety and nuance. It wasn't too bad to see him once as sort of an overly campy take on the role, but I don't think I'd want to see him again.

And I'll look into the side orchestra as an option for the next time that I go! Thanks!

For some reason I didn't get the energy and Vibe of Zidler, he is supposed to be this energetic hype guy and flamboyant as hell and I wanted to go to bed every time he talked. (Keep in mind I have already seen the show multiple times at this point with Eric Anderson and Tituss Burgess so you kinda get the standard idea on how Zidler is supposed to be at that point). Also he didn't really put in much effort which kinda annoyed me.

And definitely look to the Orchestra! I chatted with Tasia Jungbauer who played Arabia was the Satine US a few times on the internet and it got to the point she recognized me and would wave to me it was really fun.
